CRIBs opened our week with a special assembly celebrating the 400th anniversary last month of the publication of the King James Bible in English. During the day Professor Singh spoke to Year 1, 2 and 6 on what it means to be a Sikh. On Tuesday Mrs Sumerha Gill spoke to the school about what it means to be a Muslim while Year 1 and 3 visited St Peters Church and the Belvedere Gurdwara. Our teaching assistant Mrs Vadukul stood in at the last minute to demonstrate henna patterns and clothing worn on Hindu special occasions to Reception children. The CRIBs team provided a quiz, storyteller session and an ICT research activity on their bus for our children. On Thursday the children met Mrs Da Langa who told the children a story from the Jewish faith with a very relevant message for todayto treat others as you would like to be treated. Our childrens behaviour and interest in their visits and visitors has again been remarked upon positively. We hope they now have a greater understanding of the variety of faiths in our multi-cultural society today. Again we would like to thank Mr Power for all the arranging and organising that has gone into the very busy week. Our staff and children have all really enjoyed and benefitted from the special events.
Brampton Primary is a restorative school where the initial response to conflict is to find a solution where things are put right, the victims needs are met whilst also meeting the needs of the wrong doer and meet all the schools responsibilities.

My changes
Children often love to learn about themselves when they were little. They love to hear about the silly things that you did when you were little, too. How much can you remember? If you have a photograph of yourself when you were little you might like to talk about the time in the photograph. Ask the child what they already know and then fill in the details when they get stuck. You might like to write down or draw what you find out.

What I have learned

In class your child has been learning about some of the ways they have changed since they were a baby and some of the things that they have learned. How many things can you think of together? Examples might be I learned to walk. I learned to ride a bike. Talk together about what it was like to learn and what things helped. Parents or carers, can you think of something you learned to do when you were a child? Draw a picture of you learning something. You might write what helped.

Year 4 World War Two As part of their work this term on World War Two, Year 4 heard from Mr Lambert on what it was like to be a school boy in Northfleet during the war. He told them all about rationing, air raids, V2 rockets and what it was like when his school was bombed! They have also been learning about being an evacuee and why so many people had allotments. They have designed posters, using ICT, to encourage children to eat more vegetables.
